Science And Agriculture

8
Perhaps never in the history of Western Canada has what is currently

designated the agricultural problem received so much attention as it is
doing at the present time, but the problem of enabling the farmer to reap
a margin of profit on his operations, or even sufficient to cover the cost of
production and marketing has not yet been solved.

To a greater or less degree the problem is one that is vexing the whole
world, for the agricultural industry is in the doldrums in almost every coun-
try on. the globe, but due to the character of the industry in Western Can-
ada where the farmer must se! his major product in a highly competitive
market and buy the implements of production and necessities of life in a
protected industrial sphere the problem is more acute here than anywhere
and this. differential has been accentuated in recent years by the vagaries
of climatic conditions.

It is not therefore, surprising to find that the question is uppermost in
the minds of all men in the west; that it is receiving foremost attention
whenever and wherever men congregate in convention; that the question |
is being ventilated with greater frequency than any other in the legislative
assemblies of the country; that discussion on it and many phases of it

‘occupies much space in the newspapers, farm magazines and other publica-

tions and that it is the subject of inquiry by innumerable organizations and
commissions.

How You ou May Re Reduce

With all this discussion going on, on a subject which everyone recog- Varicose or Swollen

nizes as the most vital one in Western Canadian history, it seems a reason-

able assumption that if there is a solution, and there must be one if tnis j H | Ul
country is to prosper and have an assured future, it will be found. H e ns Ed cers

As has been suggested before, innumerable proposals have been made

as a solution to this great problem. They inc!ude among others; interna-

tional agreements between the great wheat producing countries, national
action in the form of subsidization of the agricultural industry by the
country as a whole, a method which is now being given a trial with as yet
undetermined results; the discovery of new markets; the expansion of exist-

ing markets; the stimulation of the home market in the direction of in- larged

creased consumption; greater diversification of agricultural practice; the
conversion of agricultural production to industrial use.
* s * *
In Several Directions
Whole volumes might be written on all these proposals, all of which

have some merits and some defects, but space and time forbid. All of these

and other plans for the rehabilitation of western agriculture are being heard |
by the group headed by Premier Bracken of Manitoba which is now mak-
ing a comprehensive survey of the whole question in the hope of finding
the answer to the riddle.

As has also been suggested. before, however, it is probable that the |
ultimate solution of this engrossing problem does not lie wholly in any one
of these orbits, but most likely in a combination of many or all of them, |
and there are some indications that readjustment is actually taking place, |
painful and lengthy though the process may be.

It has undoubtedly occurred to many who have given serjous thought
and study to this problem that at least a partial and a happy solution might
be found in some course which would result in a closer relationship between.
agriculture and the manufacturing industries, for to the extent which these
two branches of industrial life can be made dependent upon one another, to
that extent will both be benefitted and the solution of the problems of both,
be closer to solution. |

A Closer Tie-Up

That already something is being done along these lines as the result of
research work and the practical application of laboratory findings was in-
dicated in a recent contribut'on in the House of Commons by W. G. Weir,
Liberal member for MacDonald, who described some of the things science
is doing to bring industry and agriculture together in the United States,
when he pointed out that Henry Ford is using in his factories annually
60,000,000 pounds of cotton, 400,000 bushels of corn, 2,300,000 gallons of
molasses, 3,200,000 pounds of woo! 1 300,000 square feet of lumber, 350,000 |
pounds of mohair and an unlimited supply of soya beans. |

Mr. MacDonald stated that three products have been developed from |
oats and are being sold in the United States—a fine oat flour with peculiar
preserving qualities, a pleasing perfume which is competing annually for a
share of the $200,000,000 spent yearly in the U.S. for cosmetics and furfural,
which when mixed with a bituminous binder and dirt, is being used to make
satisfactory market roads at a cost of $2,500 a mile.

Alcohol,“ said Mr. MacDonald, “is now successfully made from corn,
sorghum, barley, rye, wheat, and potatoes. Gasoline carrying ten per cent.
of this type of alcohol is now being sold in 2,000 U.S. filling stations at,
prices competitive with gasoline,” and quoted an authority for the, state-
ment that “within ten years the U.S. will be using 20 per cent. of such
grain alcohol blended with gasoline for motor cars, and that within 20

years this industry will be producing 50 million gallons of ‘agricrude’ at a

selling price of between 15 and 30 cents per gallon with handsome profits.” |

Mr. MacDonald made his citation in support of a plea for the expendi-|
ture of further energy and money for research work, a plea which should
not go unheeded in the light of results that have been achieved on the other |
side of the international boundary and the necessity of applying science |
to the 14 — of Western Canadian agriculture.

According To Survey

Women Are Less Likely To Contract
Pneumonia Than Men

Men are more apt to contract pneu-
monia than women.

This conclusion was reported by
the United States Public Health Ser-
vice on the basis of a survey of pneu-
monia frequency in 1937. The sur-
| vey disclosed. the health services
said, that the rate among males was
six per 1,000 persons and among
females 4.9.

No conclusion was reached as to
why men are more susceptible.

The report also said it was found

|
the. Cs |

that pneumonia strikes with greatest

frequency in the lower income groups.
“The pneumonia case rate among
relief families was over twice the

| rate of that among families in the

upper income groups,“ the report
said. There was also an excess in
the rates among families who were
not on relief, but whose incomes were
less than $125 a month.

| Care At Right

Proper Attention Should Be Given To
Feet Of Young Horse

“No feet; no horse” is a well known
statement, states W. H. Hicks, super-
intendent, Dominion Experimental
Farm, Agassiz, B. C., is particularly
mportant and true of stallions as
hey are the progenitors of the next
Jorge crop. Inferior feet in horses
will be passed on to the next gener-
ation just as promptly as any othr
structural defect. We can assist
heredity, however, by taking proper
care of the feet of our horses. It is
never too soon to start caring for the
young horse's feet, Not only can the
feet be improved by seasonable at-
tention, but early, patient, kind
handling of foals, will save much
perspiration and many backaches
